Is this worth noting on a dateless buffalo?

Well I proved on dbldie55's 1913 Nickel that I'm mostly blind, so am I trying too hard on this dateless buffalo?
Here are some pics of a dateless Buffalo Nickel. After many days I finally looked through all my dateless buffaloes and
this is the only one that had any abnormalities. Is this just a fluke or what, speaking of the doubling of the third feather. And
if so, is it representative of 1916 ddo?

Not characteristic for the '16 DD. The pick-up point I use is the ribbon ties which are strongly doubled and easy to see even on the lowest grade specimens. Machine doubling on the feathers can cause much confusion. I don't think I've ever seen machine doubling on the ribbon ties. The coin pictured is a PCGS GOOD04.
Thanks, Ron, didn't think I would be so lucky. lol

Hey Jim-keep on lookin'-you never know. I had a corroded one cherried on ebay around ten years ago but it didn't work out.
I have looked through my 'hoard' of mostly dateless Buffs a couple of times, looking for varieties... No luck. Maybe a third time would be the charm??
